This is a known issue with git-lfs that instead of lfs files we get pointers, like: cat my-big-lfs-file version https://git-lfs.github.com/spec/v1 oid sha256:0fdc01f4275862cbcf450d6d25ceefdc0377d24869dda527303c653acbf1487b size 427266135 In order to fix it - please execute `git lfs install` from the ebuild. Now after emerge `git lfs env` returns this (3 last lines): git config filter.lfs.process = "" git config filter.lfs.smudge = "" git config filter.lfs.clean = "" After `git lfs install`: git config filter.lfs.process = "git-lfs filter-process" git config filter.lfs.smudge = "git-lfs smudge -- %f" git config filter.lfs.clean = "git-lfs clean -- %f" Reference: https://stackoverflow.com/a/56284009/1879101
Hi, from upstream's documentation I read that "git lfs install" only installs for the specific user account that calls this command: "...set up Git LFS for your user account by running: ...", so I don't think there is a way to install git-lfs via the ebuild. As a workaround I'll add a note via elog or similar telling the user what to do.
ok
